Chaos to restart - how many cars in total?

[EnglishTony]

Nearly the whole field.

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Farfus out!

Incredible carnage - and this is just one corner ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F41XrKrO3oU

What do the blue flashing lights in the windscreens signify?

[p1stonhead]

Same as a blue flag in a normal race. 'I'm one of the leaders get the fk out my way!'

I believe the top 20 cars get a blue light to clear people in front.

[EnglishTony]

Top 30 isn't it?

That Zakspeed Merc is going to get a penalty for spinning the Audi I reckon.

Is the dreaded static shot of the pits coming soon or have they now sorted all night coverage? This will greatly affect my sleep levels tonight!

I swear the static shot came before now last year.

If you are watching RTL Nitro then they have been saying that it's the whole 24 hours. A German TV record apparently.

I'm watching the UK stream with Radio Le Mans commentary. Hope this continues for a while too!

The BMW E34 M5 (no. 115) is just so cool. Brings back good memories of the Audi A8 Rennwagen.

[EnglishTony]

Motorsport-total.de has free livestream as a Vodafone promo

Site also has a feature that allows you to see where the cars are on track.

Not that I am determined to ruin your sleep

I think that's the 1 running on gas

On board footage at night is awesome, been to two 24 hour races there and amazing atmosphere round the track, may have to book another trip next year.

Looks lovely there this morning, completely different to yesterday afternoon. 24 hour racing is brilliant when you have a baby because you don't miss the night stuff :/

Trust me it's bloody freezing this morning, apart from the rain last night yesterday was much warmer.

We watched from around adenau and further into the forest until gone midnight. The atmosphere with the crazy Germans was amazing , nearly as amazing as watching those AMG GT and M6 monsters attack the corners so hard in the dark whilst overtaking some poor unsuspecting "slow" Porsche or something.
